 Traffic Impact Assessment                                                                                    May 2023
 Proposed Noosa Civic Village Mixed Use Development




1          Introduction
1.1        Overview
SLR Consulting (Australia) Pty Ltd (SLR) has been engaged by Stockwell Development Group Pty Ltd (Stockwell)
to undertake a Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) for the Noosa Civic Village Mixed Use Development (shopping
centre, residential, office and entertainment) (the Project) located at 28 Eenie Creek Road, Noosaville. The
project site will be situated to the south-east of the existing Noosa Civic shopping centre. The proposal comprises
an expansion to accommodate a mixed-use precinct consisting of new entertainment activities (bowling and
cinema facilities), commercial, residential, retail (including food and drink) and a civic plaza.

The intention of this report is to document an assessment of the operational impact of the proposal to inform
Noosa Shire Council’s assessment of a planning application to facilitate the development. The report also
includes a review of parking supply and traffic and transport related design outcomes such as service vehicle
access and circulation layout. A concept plan of the proposed development has been prepared by Buchan and
is included at Appendix A.

1.2        Nature of Application
This Project will form part of an overall masterplan for the Noosa Business centre that comprises the following:
          Retail functions including shopping centres, full-line supermarket, specialty retail shops, food and drink
           outlets such as cafes and restaurants, personal services and a range of entertainment activities.
          Commercial functions including office, business, medical and specialised educational services and
           innovation activities.
          Residential functions including multiple dwellings and short-term accommodation.

The proposal involves a Material Change of Use by introducing developments including shopping centre
(consisting of shop and food and drink outlets), multiple dwelling, short-term accommodation, office, theatre,
indoor sport and recreation areas (e.g., bowling) and bars.

Under the Noosa Plan 2020 (planning scheme), the project site is situated within ‘Major Centre’ Zone, specifically
within ‘Precinct 5 - Noosa Business Centre’.

1.3        Assessment Scope
This TIA report assesses the consistency of the development with Council and State planning, and the impacts
of the proposed development on the surrounding transport networks. The TIA identifies the transport
infrastructure required to support the development and provides an assessment of the traffic and transport
aspects of the development against the requirements of Noosa Shire Council (Council or NSC).
